I have had mine for about a year. Since I have several for scrapbooking, I figured I needed one for sewing. I haven't had any problems with the blade skipping. I find that if I starch my fabric very well, my strips are very straight. The thingy that holds the fabric down does a good job, so there's very little slippage. I'm sure you will love it! Congrats!!

Thanks for posting your honest review after using it. I would never dismiss a new notion as worthless or not necessary without trying it for myself but with a review from an actual user gives me more information of what to expect good or bad. I dismiss opinions of others that have never used one.

I'm in the process of making pre-cut strips into a French braid and it is a big time reminder why I don't "DO" standard patterns.... they bore me. I don't have the guts or the attention span or what ever to make 90 or however many of the same thing! I wouldn't get that machine for anything. Of course, that's just me.

I have the Altos Quick cut, I think that's the name, i am in bed. It can do strips and a whole lot more. I would not trade or sell it for anything. My strip cutting has improved, it did take some time and practice to move my hand on the guide. I paid $200 and it has paid for its self.
